In an upstairs room in BlackpoolBy the side of a northern seaThe army had my fatherAnd my mother was having meMilitary madness was killing my countrySolitary sadness comes over meAfter the school was over and I movedTo the other sideI found another country but I neverLost my prideMilitary madness was killing the country

Solitary sadness creeps over meAnd after the wars are overAnd the body count is finally filedI hope that the man discoversWhat's driving the people wildMilitary madness is killing your countrySo much sadness, between you and meWar, war, war, war, war, war
